GAT'S SET FOR SPOON DODGE

WARREN GATLAND hailed the excellence of scrumhalf Rhys Webb, as Wales won their first match in this year's Six Nations, ending a run of three successive defeats.

Webb's first Test start since October 2020 saw him create two tries, and deservedly take the player-of-the-match honours.

"I thought he was excellent in the way his decision-making controlled the game," said Wales boss Gatland.

"He has not played at this level for a while, so we were always thinking about when we would need to make a change in terms of his legs and stuff.

"His contribution was excellent and his decision-making, not trying to force things, not trying too hard."

Gatland's team arrived in Rome with the wooden spoon a realistic prospect following successive defeats against Ireland, Scotland and England.
